The Port of Los Angeles has earned its second global environmental award in a month, this time from trade publication Containerisation International.
The group recently held its annual awards in London to honour companies and individuals around the world for best practices, innovation and creative thinking in the container industry.
The award recognised many of the Port’s environmental programmes, including its leadership in helping ports worldwide measure and reduce their carbon footprints; the Port’s green leasing policy that includes environmental requirements as part of tenant lease agreements; and the Port’s role in developing the World Ports Climate Initiative, a global collaboration of approximately 60 ports aimed at reducing greenhouse gases and improving air quality.
'We commend the Port of Los Angeles for its commitment to innovative business and environmental practices that have helped make the container industry safer, more secure and more sustainable,' said John Fossey, editor of Containerisation International. 'The Port’s approach to sustainability and green growth is far ahead of the curve and a lesson to the entire maritime industry.'
